Former Premier League midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker says “it is hard to see a better well-drilled team in the league” than Liverpool and that is why they are nine points clear in the title race.
“Common sense says it is their Premier League title to lose,” said Reo-Coker on BBC Radio 5 Live’s Football Daily podcast. “That is the reality of it, but Arne Slot is being very acute and smart in interviews to not say it.
“When the season started, Liverpool were not even in the conversation of the title race. It was all talk of Manchester City and Arsenal. No-one knew what to expect from Liverpool, but Slot has gone in there and it is hard to see a better well-drilled team in the league.
“They are so well-tuned in every aspect of their game and there is no weak link in the team because everyone is playing to such a high level.
“But there will now be a momentum shift as they are favourites to win the title and everyone will be watching all of their games. That can be a burden of pressure, so how Slot handles that next challenge will be interesting.”
